1mm as you now know. I wonder if one day bell wire will be accepted again for

You have to plan for worst case, though.

Perhaps not the worst, but the guideline is to assume the higher value
of either whatever is fitted to the actual fitting, or 100W.

So you would not normally design a circuit with more than 13 lamp
fittings per circuit if protected at 6A.

that made sense in the days of filament lamps. But no longer.

Perhaps, but the guideline is still the same.

Some folks still use filament lamps...
